Currently Premium lists can collect donations from members for the Premium cost.
When free lists were confronted with a required upgrade to Premium if they had 500+ members,
there was not an equivalent method for free lists to accept donations to pay for the upgrade.
Doubling the Premium list cost at the same time increased the need to accept donations.

This issue is not dead, only delayed.? Before the policy? is changed again, free lists should be able to
collect donations before they have to pay for a Premium list.

Hello Duane.

That would be a great feature.? I am also working with Wilson on another issue.? I downloaded his latest PGO but it refuses to log me into Yahoo groups to even see my group.? This is despite the fact that I use Waterfox (Firefox 56) as well as Firefox (v70.0).? The problem appears to be that despite not getting the Yahoo oath message (I refuse to accept their oath so when browser presents it I say do it later which will be the sixth Tuesday of never) in the browswer PGO must be getting it.? So Wilson or his new programmer will be working on a method where PGO opens the browswer if a problem occurs (like the oath pop up) so it can be cleared and then go back to PGO.? I just hope this happens before Yahoo groups deletes everything!? At this point I can't even use PGO.? Wilson did offer to grab my groups but that is a lot of data and I would prefer to do it myself.? I have not had any luck getting Python to run on my Windows 7 box and the other 2 or 3 Github utilities seem to be Python scripts and all have said they do not work that well anyway so PGO seems to be the only game in town at this point.

Thank you.

Where do you see your place in line??? I paid on 10/22 at 8:10am (Pacific) and after confirming [email protected] also on the 22nd, started the transfer.

I'll try...

There is a group - wide setting under Admin > Settings; scroll down to Spam Control and you will find a checkbox marked Moderated which sets the default moderation setting.

At the same time each individual member has a moderation setting that can leave them on the group default or "something else": To view or edit individual settings go to Admin > Members which will bring up a complete list of your subscribers. Click on a Subscriber anywhere in their "line" other than the checkbox. At the bottom of the page there is a section called Posting Privileges with a list of 7 options; choose whichever is appropriate. Note that this setting applies only to the specific member so any wide - scale changes may be time consuming.

Don't forget to save any changes by scrolling down to the bottom of each page and clicking on the Update Group or Save button; the terminology used differs between pages.

Sounds to me like you haven't invited that address to that group.? If it were me, I'd back up and carefully go through the detailed steps at /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673? Many 'problems' are solved that way.

Support is focusing on downloading YG data to save them.? Mark has said that downloading is his first priority.? Importing to GIO and other items can be done after that at "leisure".

I changed the email address for my group "main@aah-announce and I think I changed the domain name because I now receive a message saying my group does not exist anymore

I don't think approval is needed for a name change.? Creating a subgroup does fiddle with the domain, so you have to wait awhile until the change propagates through all the DNS servers.

Duh.

Many of us understand how easy it is to in a hurry during this difficult time.? You might print out /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19673 and check off each item as you complete it.? That may prevent skipping a step or misreading.

new members have to be approved but NOT where messages have to be approved. But, I'm still having to approve messages

On the Settings page, make sure the New Users Moderated box is NOT checked in the Spam Control area.

Bruce;

I did all of that and there is no [email protected] as a member and no one has deleted them.
I even checked the moderator & member activity logs and don't see any mention of a [email protected].
I was on top of this and checked right away when I received this email to promote them to moderator.
Support needs to resolve this and not focus on the people who are paying the extra $200 to expedite their transfers.

I'm having trouble with premium upgrade. When asked for CC detail, there is only an option for a zip code but i'm in Canada with a postal code and the field does not accept letters and the space. How do I proceed?

Oh! ?I was wondering if this was an indexing issue. ?Thanks!

I can see the price going up $10 or $20.? But double?? The owners of Group I/O are getting a lot more money from folks leaving yahoo.? I guess that was not enough for them.? It is actions like this that gave a company a very bad name.

Good. This confirms the status you are on.

If you're still struggling, try this:?

1. Pull down the Management menu and select "Activity Log."?
2. In the row of links across the top, click "Moderator Activity."
3. In the Search Moderator Activity query box, enter "[email protected]".
4. Click the purple Search button.

This should bring up a list of all moderator activity that has occurred with the groups.io transfer agent...and who did it.?If you instead select "Membership Activity" in step #2 above you can also determine when the invitation was sent and when it was accepted.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I created a hashtag (#playlist), and posted a topic with that hashtag in the subject. ?But doing a hashtag search does not find the topic. ?If I go into the hashtags configuration page I can see that there is 1 topic with that hashtag. ?So why doesn’t a search work?

Dave -- I have run into this, too, and I sent a note to Mark about it. Turns out, search indexing runs in a separate process from normal groups.io operations. With this heavy server load, the indexing is lagging behind a bit.

Behavior can reasonably be expected to return to normal once this big migration is over. Meanwhile, just wait an hour or so and you should be able to find it.?

Edward -- Okay, based on this screenshot, you have invited the transfer agent and it's been accepted, but you're having trouble finding it.

Go to your Yahoo group. Pull down the Management menu and select Manage Members. See screenshot #1 (attached).

In the list of members click the "Joined" column header so the little caret to the right points down. See screenshot #2. This should bring the most recent members to the top.

Look in the column labeled Email. The agent's record should have "[email protected]" here. If you are still allowing people to freely join the group, it may not be the first record. Keep scrolling down until you find it. When you do find it, follow the instructions found at? to promote it to a Moderator, then return to groups.io and click the green button (give the go-ahead).

If you get to the point where the "Joined" date is well before the date you sent the invitation, then the transfer agent membership must have been deleted. Do you have any other Moderators or Owners who might have done this?

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Okay easy to say but I'll try.
I thought I explained myself properly.
I have attached the screenshot.
